how i can know the directory where mp!live stocke log of discution

Read this registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\%Email%\Preferences\LogsDirectory it is a REG_SZ

Where %Email% is the email of the person.

This is the way I'd do it:

code:

---

var RegScriptPath = MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath; //Get the script registry path
var RegPrefsPath = RegScriptPath.substr(0, RegScriptPath.indexOf("GlobalSettings")) + Messenger.MyEmail + "\\Preferences"; //Get the Plus! preferences path
var sPath = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").RegRead(RegPrefsPath + "\\LogsDirectory"); //Get Plus!' default log directory

---

EDIT:
@ matty: Note that it's possible that that path changes in a future Plus! version. Therefore, I more like to get the path based on the script's registry path.
And yes, I know that it's more recommended to use Win32 API functions to read the key but I leave that for you to choose whether you want to implement such functions.

I was just stating where the key is that he/she needs to read as you see no code I posted. What would be even better would be to read the EnableChatLog DWORD value and read based on if that is 1 or 0.

thanks mattike thats perfect but how can have the list of name of files ho exist in the directory?

Use the Win32 API FindFirstFile and FindNextFile.

thanks matty but u always and i dont know wy u give only the headline i need a one hour with your instruction to find exactly the right code can u be more nice and next time be more explination and give some piece of code?

The reason why I don't just post code now a days is because everyone justs asks without doing any research. There is a reason there is MSDN from Microsoft. It is to tell you how to use the APIs. No offence but you have only asked for code from what I have seen without actually doing any yourself.

Why don't you try to do something yourself without constantly asking for us to just provide you with the code? It isn't that hard at all!

code:

/*
    Name:     GetDirectoryStructure
    Purpose:    Create a list of all the files from a given location on the disc
    Parameters:    sPath - Path to get all the files from
            includePath - If true, will include the full path to the filename, if false will only display the filename

*/
function GetDirectoryStructure(sPath, includePath) {
    var aFileNames = new Array();
    var Win32_Find_Data = Interop.Allocate(592);
    var hSearch = Interop.Call('kernel32', 'FindFirstFileW', sPath + '*', Win32_Find_Data);
    var hResult;
    while(hResult != 0){
        if((Win32_Find_Data.ReadString(44) !== '.') && (Win32_Find_Data.ReadString(44) !== '..') && !(Win32_Find_Data.ReadDWORD(0) & 0x10)){
            aFileNames.push ((includePath ? sPath : '')+Win32_Find_Data.ReadString(44));
        }
        hResult = Interop.Call('kernel32', 'FindNextFileW', hSearch, Win32_Find_Data)
    }
    Interop.Call('kernel32', 'FindClose', hSearch);
    return aFileNames;
}

thanks matty for advice i do this but some time i spent a lot of time for a very small thing ho can people give it in 3s so that save alot of time and give u chanse to do more importante things

But the point is you don't learn by someone just giving you code.
